$x^{2} + 6 x - 16$

Step 1

Move $x^{2}$ in $\frac{x^{2}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{1}{x^{- 2}}$

Step 2

Move $x^{1}$ in $\frac{6 x}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{6}{x^{- 1}}$

Step 3

Rewrite $- 16$ as $- 2^{4}$ .

$\frac{- 2^{4}}{1}$

Step 4

Move $2^{4}$ in $\frac{- 2^{4}}{1}$ to the denominator and change the exponent from positive to negative.

$\frac{- 1}{2^{- 4}}$

Step 5

Rewrite the expression with the negative exponents.

$\frac{1}{x^{- 2}} + \frac{6}{x^{- 1}} + \frac{- 1}{2^{- 4}}$
